Jay Z lines that went over your head

[Ill-Yaz]

Next to Spike if you pan left to right
I own Madison Square, catch me at the fight
But damn once again if you pan left at the ice
It be the man that write checks with the hand that don't write

This had me really confused when I first heard it and I still dont understand it.

All I get from this is that he's sitting next to Spike Lee at MSG and when he does write, he only writes checks, seeing as he dont write his lyrics

Can anyone break it down for me?


Post other Jay lines that flew over your head

That's all it meant. Kinda sneaky cause he also says "doesn't write/right" because he's left handed

Elaborate. I thought he just meant what he said.
